Holy shit Zelenskyy appears to have seriously triggered them.

I wonder if he said something to the effect of “no i will not participate in your stupid fake peace process, if you want to stop supporting us, say it with your full chest to your own country where I have a higher approval rating than you.”

It’s not for game developers, it’s to convince capital that they should keep funding Microsoft’s data center expansions. Keep funding the methane companies that provide the power for them.

Offer a better service for a better price.

Streaming services don’t sell content, they sell convenient access to content, and it’s been getting less convenient as time goes on. So less people feel like it’s worth paying them.

That would require an act of congress, which, while not impossible, is very unlikely given the current situation. some congressional republicans are pissed at him right now, and they have an extremely slim majority, so any defections on such a vote would prevent it from passing.

Aldi nord and Aldi sud are two different companies (north and south), they split when two brothers disagreed on whether to sell cigarettes in the grocery store. The Aldi’s in the US are Aldi Sud.

Aldi nord also exists in the US, they go under the name Trader Joe’s, formerly a small regional chain that they bought and used as entry to the market before expanding it across the country.

Or fake social security checks going through when some idiot breaks the COBOL code that runs federal payments system.

“Ignore the fact that we almost caused a global financial collapse because we let a 20 something with no experience in COBOL muck around in the code for, and potentially introduce bugs to, the federal payment system that services, among other things, treasury bonds, the things that are the foundation of the global financial system. Yah we know we said he had read only access but whoops, turns out he actually had write access as well!”
